Introduction to Acanthus

Norwegian-style acanthus carvings are familiar to many appreciators of traditional buildings, wooden bowls, and other folk art, with painterly forms that build together into endless patterns.

In this four-week workshop, students learn the basic “alphabet” of Norwegian acanthus by drawing and then beginning to carve with gouges and chisels. Students provide some of their own materials for this class; see web link for more info.

Suitable for ages 18+. $180 ($160 ASI members) + $25 materials fee.
